Bye, everyone

I start my new job on Monday and this is my last day of blogging, so I thought I'd wrap up with a few beauty truths that I've learned during my three years at Glamour. Here goes: 1. Expensive skincare products don't necessarily work any better than the cheapies. It's all about using the stuff consistently. 2. Never overpluck your eyebrows. You'll regret it. 3. Don't think that if only you could have clearer skin/prettier hair/whiter teeth, everything would be okay. It wouldn't. Not to be cheesy, but happiness and fulfillment come from within. The looks thing alone isn't going to make you feel any better about yourself. 4. Drinking vats of water will not make your skin clear and glowy. Gently exfoliating it with a cleanser or salicylic acid-spiked lotion will actually help. 5. Sure, go ahead and use anti-agers, but don't change your appearance so much that you don't look like you anymore. A woman who looks her age—and appreciates it—is always prettier than a woman who's waging war on getting older. —XO, Stephanie
